Mid-Atlantic Dev Con is a brand new polyglot event taking place July 13th and 14th, 2018 near Baltimore, MD. It is designed to bring together programmers from the region for two full days of learning from each other and building a stronger regional community. We are currently hosting an open Call for Speakers, which will end on March 31st at Midnight UTC!

We are looking for a broad range of submissions covering a wide range of topics that are of interest to today’s computer developers. This means not only programming topics, such as various sessions on PHP, but also broader topics related to development such as: deployment, DevOps, databases, caching, performance, scalability, APIs, etc — We also are looking for non-technical proposals that will appeal to a tech audience: open source, leadership, mentoring, health, work-life balance, management, customer service, and more!

Given the nature of the event, extra emphasis will be placed on submissions that appeal to a larger range of developers.

ConFoo is a multi-technology conference specifically crafted for web developers. With 150+ presentations by local and international speakers, this conference offers outstanding diversity of content to expand your knowledge, increase your productivity and boost your development skills.

See you in Montreal on March 7-8-9!

There are still a few tickets left. Book yours today for the 3-day conference. Interested in Angular, Symfony or Unit Testing? We have you covered. Grab your ticket for a special two-day training on March 5-6.

The inaugural San Diego PHP Conference (WavePHP) is going to be happening September 19, 2018. We have opened our Call for Speakers and look forward to having a tough time choosing between all of the proposals.

Register today and make plans for a great time in San Diego, CA!

Once again the team behind the original php[cruise] is bringing a conference to the open seas. CoderCruise 2018 will be a premiere conference experience, letting you have an exclusive connection to your fellow community members. It will set sail from Ft. Lauderdale on August 30th for a 5 day cruise that also visits Half Moon Cay and Nassau!

Best of all, this year we've managed to negotiate a much cheaper overall rate for our participants, starting as low as $410 per person (including 5-day cruise, food, drink and the conference!)

Our Call for Speakers is open until February 28th, and we invite you to come give us your submissions. We want to hear from you, as do others!

This year marks the 12th edition of the Dutch PHP Conference, once again hosted in the beautiful city of Amsterdam. Our tutorial day will be Thursday, June 7th, with the main 2-day conference following on the 8th and 9th 2018.
Speakers, the call for papers is now open! We’re looking for high-quality, technical sessions from speakers who can cover advanced topics and keep our demanding audience inspired.
As always we’re excited about all kinds of different topics. You could say that as long as it’s somehow related to PHP and you’re really excited about it, we want to hear it! It doesn’t matter who you are, this event is all about technology. DPC has an established reputation as the best place to expand a developer’s skill set and improve existing practice, and that remains our focus this year.
The call for papers is open until January 28th. You can send in as many proposals as you like, so start submitting your talks! If you are accepted as a speaker we’ll pay your travel costs, put you up in a hotel and give you a pass to the conference so you can join us during the event.
We’re very excited to see what you can come up with, and we’re looking forward to reading all the different proposals.

We are glad to announce that we’ll be organizing the 12th edition of the Dutch PHP Conference, which will be held in Amsterdam from June 7th to 9th 2018. Thursday the 7th will be the tutorial day and June 8 and 9 will be the main conference days. DPC brings together the best speakers and PHP, Javascript and front-end talent from Europe and beyond for three days of high-level technical sessions.
In-depth tutorial sessions
The tutorial day on Thursday June 7th at the same venue gives an opportunity for a smaller number of attendees to spend some time with an expert, going in-depth on particular topics. These are small groups so that presenters can respond to individual questions, and as a result places are limited.
